What does it feel like to work in high end restaurant that is known for being exquisite, yet relaxed?

During the time in which I lived the nomad lifestyle, my life long friend Mariana became a sommelier and later on a wine and gastronomy writer. In 2022, on a family trip to Argentina, we arranged for her to take me along on a work trip. She’d be the writer and I’d be the photographer. We spent 5 days in Mendoza visiting producers, chefs, sommeliers and all sorts of passionate people who devote their days to conversing with the Andes and bringing the fruits of the conversation back to the table.

After that first unexpected trip and teaser production in April 2019, I had yet to experience more serendipity with the Global Eclipse Gathering Project. 3 more trips later, I would produce over 20 videos for them…

Nelly and I – who had never met before being teamed up for this spectacular professional adventure – spent a month visiting EU funded projects in Argentina. Over 4000 km, 7 videos and a zillion Instagram Stories later, we felt as if we had run a creative production marathon: exhausted but fulfilled.

I was supposed to leave Argentina on March 30th. Instead, I ended up flying to Patagonia with an adorable motley crew. They came from many different countries to start planning and visualising a big global gathering to share the Solar Total Eclipse that will be seen from the South of Argentina in December 2020. Thankful for the unexpected exciting job and for, once again, being able to change my plans; I packed all my gear tight, borrowed warm clothes (I barely own any) and went on for a professional adventure full of challenges, interesting people and laughter. A project that would require my absolute best at all the skills I had been polishing during my 3 years of nomadism.

Rosetta Stone, the first and one of the biggest players in the digital language learning world contacted me asking for travel photos and captions that would portray moments and places to have #RosettaSessions all around the planet. The photos would be used on their social media sites along with this hashtag to encourage people to download their app and start learning and practicing one of the over 30 languages they offer.
